# Open Book Collective in action: A fair and sustainable future for books

The [Open Book Collective](https://compass.copim.pub/books/10-open-book-collective) (OBC) brings together publishers, publishing service providers, and scholarly libraries to secure the diversity and financial futures of open access book production and dissemination.

[Watch this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc_MkR0d9bQ) (created by Couch Fire Films and filmed at the Charleston Library Society) to hear OBC members and supporters explain why a fairer and more sustainable future for scholarly books is needed.
